CANON R7
CANON 100-500 RF @ 363mm
f7.1 @ 1/1600
ISO 1000

This Summer image was taken at an abandoned limestone quarry, which filled with water over time, and is now a beautiful deep lake, of excellent water quality. ( Much restoration of the surrounding habitat, by a local conservation group, as well). 

Province of Ontario, Canada, image- July, 2024.
Thanks to everyone for viewing.

Looks like the heron is enjoying the new "lake" . Pretty greens to set off the heron.

Love the setting and lighting Paul. It presents a feeling that you are actually there lying down beside the pond.
